Written by Gary Numan. Verse 1 It’s cold outside And the paint’s peeling off of my walls There’s a man outside In a long coat, grey hat, smoking a cigarette Verse 2 Now the light fades out And I wonder what I’m doing in a room like this There’s a knock on the door And just for a second I thought I remembered you Bridge 1 So now I’m alone Now I can think for myself About little Deals and SUs And things that I just don’t understand Like a white lie that night Or a sly touch at times I don’t think it meant anything to you Verse 3 So I open the door It’s the ’friend’ that I left in the hallway “Please sit down.“ A candlelit shadow on a wall near the bed Verse 4 You know I hate to ask But are ’friends’ electric? Only mine’s broke down And now I’ve no one to love Bridge 2 So I found out your reasons For the phone calls and smiles And it hurts and I’m lonely And I should never have tried And I miss you tonight So it’s time to leave You see it meant everything to me
